mixmasterjay Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 that sound awesome mate i never knew hyper 7 shocks and springs fitted thats good to know there is alot to do to mine still then lol i know about the shock towers but i can only find the rear alloy one ,i also want the alloy12mm hex's too now that ive but the little bigger engine in ,i will be going up to 205 fuel soon too as im running the rest of my 16% out it wont take long with this engine lol ,i cant wait for the pics mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Electro Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hyper 7 shocks dont just fit on fella There was a lot of modding involved to get them to fit. The shock towers all had to be drilled etc to allow the pillowball mounts needed for the shocks to fit on, and to get the Jato turnbuckles on, In fact none of the holes in the front or rear suspension towers are the standard size I've got to change my rear hexes to alloy as well I'm also waiting on some Lunsford titanium steering turnbuckles to show up.

mixmasterjay Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 oh ok so alot of work but thats all good lol , im not sure if ive still got the standard turn buckles on but ive been thinking of upgrading them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Electro Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yep, all your turnuckles are standard mate, you can see them clipped on in the pictures It's easier to go custom with these as well as there is a massive choice cos of the ones used on other models. The turnbuckles are what started my build off, because I wanted adjustable ones, quite literally everything else has been built around the fact that I wanted different, stronger and adjustable turnbuckles. I started this project last year in February, spent nearly all year hunting and gathering parts and now it's almost finished. Lots of the parts fitted to mine are discontinued so it took a fair old hunt about, anything I couldnt find uses parts off other models that have been modified to be honest I wish this bloody snow would do one so i can give her a proper run.

mixmasterjay Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 ok so ive ended up keeping the rush evo i was building for turb() (due to personal reasons my end) and all it basically needs is springs and radio gear , it is basically stock apart from a 15t vented steel clutchbell, racing clutch shoes and a mmeike tuned exhaust and a purple anodised chassis it started 3rd pull and it sounds great nice bit of smoke and ive not touched any settings on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Heres mine,bog standard apart from the TTR rear shocks from the 1/10 TTR truck,small 6v RX pack,TowerPro MG995 steering and a JP Supertec TB servo and finally a Q-World failsafe,it isnt technically mine but the daughter seems to have lost interest which is understandable at 18,courting and at college but its still here for when she does.Just got a brand new stock HPI shell in the bag for it from Manny.No plans for it really as it doesn't interest me enough,it'll get fixed when it breaks and thats it,was gonna stick alloy arms,shock towers and adjustable top arms on it but not till the Revo has seen its upgrades through....
